Hi LWDLIK!
ReplyDeleteWe really enjoy your blog-- keep up the great work! We would like to kindly ask that you credit or link back to our site should you wish to use any of our content, as we do when we take content from your blog or from others. Thank you so much in advance!
Hi Grapevine Kuwait, thank you for the compliment.
ReplyDeleteMany thanks to you for crediting me so very, very many times when you've 'borrowed' events from here over the year even when you're tweaking them slightly and not crediting back to me. I'm so glad you're such an avid reader and find the events so irresistable.
However, I know how hard it can be to get info on events and the events are only fun if lots of people turn out to support them so I've not had issue with you or anyone else regarding 'borrowing'.
I thank Laura for the Tango Seminar Doc and the Registration Form Doc which she sent me via email.
I see you credit an a great deal to other blogs and the rest of your info is readily available on Facebook. But thank you for compiling it in one place for people to enjoy.
Have a nice day!
Sorry people this is one of my pet peeves.
ReplyDeleteWe are not talking about poetry or a novel here. We are talking about info that is freely available for all to see, copy and publish from public forums. And then the Italian Art Lady and Grapevine get pissy with me for publishing also.
Umm.. GK - I have just seen the same event posted on Kuwait-Music too?? With no credit to you? Or did you 'borrow' it from them?
ReplyDeleteOk I'm done with this subject now. It's cake time :O)
Hi LWDLIK, I was not trying to be rude or cause an issue with you. I thoroughly enjoy your blog, and I was actually being honest with that statement. I just want to make clear, that I ALWAYS, ALWAYS given you credit for EVERY SINGLE POST I have taken from YOUR SITE AND FROM THE SITE OF OTHERS. You are more than welcome to go back and check them. We are contacted by many organizers as well, so many of our events are also sent to us by contributors-- we do not freely take & "tweak" as you previously mentioned. If this was a mistake, we truly apologize. We just wanted to send you a message to clarify. We did not see an email address to contact you on, so we just decided to comment (and leave it up to you should you wish to publish). Anyway, I agree, we are also through with this issue. Have a good one!
ReplyDeleteThe email address is under the label contact me on the right.
ReplyDeleteApology accepted. My apologies to you for me being a cantankerous old grump. It's jet lag and lost baggage.
Friends? Hope so x
Sounds good ;)
